OUTLINE• Digital Project Planning

• What is the goal of your Digital Scholarship project?• We will discuss Digital Humanities projects as Digital

Scholarship Project • Learn what the components or layers of a Digital

Humanities project are.• How do you find data to use to answer research

questions?• Understand descriptive metadata and the rationale for its

use

• Digital Pedagogy • If you are involving students how does that affect

your planning plan?• How do you incorporate Digital Pedagogy into a Digital

Project ?

DIGITAL HUMANITIES TOOLS“What Digital Humanists mean by

‘Tools’ is extremely loose and inclusive: in essence, it means any kind of application or software that helps you get the job done, whether

gathering, processing, or presenting your research. ”

LAYERS OF DH PROJECTS

1 •Sources•You need digital data to do DH

2 •Processing or Manipulation•What is done to the data (usually using some type of software or tool)

3 •Presentation•DH projects live in the digital realm, online.

Page 13: Digital project planning and pedagogy

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO FOR EACH LAYER OF YOUR DH PROJECT ?

1. Do you need to access data or create data?• Digitization support• Data Collection

2. Do you need to do something to the data to make it machine readable?• Software access• DH tools• Cleaning Data

3. Do you need to get it online?• Server access• DoOO• CMS

HOW DID THEY MAKE THAT DH PROJECT?-MIRIAM POSNER• Digital Humanities and the L

ibrary: A Bibliography• Projects• How did they make that?• “Many  students tell me that

in order to get started with digital humanities, they’d like to have some idea of what they might do and what technical skills they might need in order to do it. Here’s a set of digital humanities projects that might help you to get a handle on the kinds of tools and technologies available for you to use.”

• How Did They Make That? The Video!

PROJECT PLANNING

What is it that you want to project to do?Are you just experimenting with a tool or methodology?

Answer a research question?Serve a pedagogical purpose?

DATA

Page 20: Digital project planning and pedagogy

What is data?

Page 21: Digital project planning and pedagogy

Examples: Audio

Oral history databases

Notes Bibliographies

Geospatial Place names in

music, poetry etc. Textual

Digital corpus

DATA ARE MORE THAN NUMBERS!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data

Page 22: Digital project planning and pedagogy

What is data literacy?

Page 23: Digital project planning and pedagogy

the ability to read, create, utilize, communicate, and criticize data.

DATA LITERACY

Page 24: Digital project planning and pedagogy

1. investigate the source(s)

HOW TO UNDERSTAND DATA

Page 25: Digital project planning and pedagogy

2. research the context: know the data about the data (so meta!)

HOW TO UNDERSTAND DATA

Page 26: Digital project planning and pedagogy

METADATA

Page 27: Digital project planning and pedagogy

What is metadata?

Page 30: Digital project planning and pedagogy

METADATA IS IN EVERYDAY LIFE

METADATA IS IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Page 32: Digital project planning and pedagogy

WHAT ARE METADATA STANDARDS?

Page 34: Digital project planning and pedagogy

3. research who the data is about

HOW TO UNDERSTAND DATA

Peace Ossom Williamson
This would be a good place where you could describe how this varies by discipline. For DH, you could be investigating a person. For data science, it could be a population group or environmental details.

“We thought this was an obvious case of public data scraping so that it would not be a legal problem,” Kirkegaard wrote to Fortune.

Questions to ask1. How to ensure the

right to consent for individuals and communities

2. How to preserve privacy, security, and ownership around their data

Page 38: Digital project planning and pedagogy

confidentiality – protection of information about a person

privacy – protection of the person

A VISUAL ARGUMENT: EMBEDDED OMEKA SUPPORT FOR ART HISTORY

Page 47: Digital project planning and pedagogy

WHAT IS OMEKA? Omeka is a web publishing platform and a content management

system (CMS)  Omeka was developed specifically for scholarly content, with

particular emphasis on digital collections and exhibits.  Omeka has been used by many academic and cultural

institutions for its built-in features for cataloging and presenting digital collections.  

Developing content in Omeka is complemented by an extensive list of descriptive metadata fields that conforms to Dublin Core, a standard used by libraries, museums and archives

This additional layer helps to establish proper source attribution, standards for description and organization of digital resources–all important aspects of scholarly work in classroom settings but often overlooked in general blogging platforms.
